Samsung NVME drivers 1.1 (950 Pro)

[Redstorm]

Has anyone else noticed a slight drop in the sythetic perf numbers with the later Samsung NVMe drivers from Samsung,

My 512GB in a X99 system dropped from 2600 to 2492 read and 1600 to 1542 write, also IOPS dropped by about 8% also?

Same percentage drop in performance in my laptop with a 256GB 950 Pro.

?

Hey, I can't answer your questions, but my driver version is 1.4.7.17.

Is that repeatable ? The difference seems almost in the margin of benchmark measurement variation.

Have you run a trim before benchmarking? in windows 10 you have to right click/properties (on any drive), tools, optimise, them optimise your SSD. It's the only way I've found to perform a trim that I've seen.
